Fire & Ice Icelandic Horses – Alicia Flanigan Icelandic Horse Trainer

Fire & Ice Icelandic Horses in Maine

I had the pleasure of photographing Fire & Ice Icelandic Horses LLC, located in Limington, Maine, capturing life on the farm and the amazing horses there. Alicia and her mother, Nikkisue Flanigan, absolutely adore their horses, and the love and care they give them is incredible to witness. You can learn more about the farm and their Icelandic horses on their website at fireandice.horse.

Even at just 17, Alicia is highly skilled and experienced. She has traveled to Iceland multiple times, fully immersing herself in the culture and training of the Icelandic breed. Her dedication and maturity make her a true professional in the Icelandic horse world.


Alicia Flanigan: Young Trainer with International Experience

Alicia is a professional horse trainer and a strong competitor. She has competed in Icelandic horse shows across the United States, as well as in Holland, Sweden, and Iceland. She focuses on both training and showing the Icelandic breed, and her experience abroad has shaped her into a confident and skilled professional.


Life and Training at Fire & Ice

The farm combines excellent care with high-quality training, clinics, and competitions. Watching Alicia and Nikkisue work with the horses demonstrates their passion and dedication. The farm is not only a place for training but also a space where humans and horses build meaningful connections.

Spending time at the farm was a joy, and photographing the horses in their environment was inspiring. The care, professionalism, and energy at Fire & Ice make it a remarkable place, and it’s always a pleasure to return.
